Lovers of Montmartre come to the cemetery to admire the outdoor art, catch a glimpse of the sun, to watch the squirrels hopping betwee maple trees or to make the acquaintance of a string of poets, generals, thinkers, inventors and the Lady of the Camellias..

Discover Vigny, Nijinsky or Guitry in a labyrinth of mossy rows and irregular stone steps..

Cross the path of stray tomcats, a bust of Rodin, the bridge of Caulaincourt and finally, Alexandre Dumas, Zola, Degas and Dalida..





Then, it’s off again to look for Poulbot, Truffaut and Feydeau..


Up above the statues and carved chapels, and the tombs of Stendhal and Berlioz, a brood of young sparrows chirp high in the chestnut trees..


Eleven enchanting hectares..
